Hi guys, Signed up to this forums ages ago, but only found time now to start focusing on my DJing, so hopefully I can be a useful contributor to these awesome forums Now, I've been listening to a lot of old school house music lately, basically anything DAVID MORALES touches, I'm really digging the analog sound, the live instruments, great percussion, etc. A few questions for you: 1) Are you BRAVE enough to throw in a few soulful songs into your Top 40 mixes? I'm experimenting with this, but the sound is so different to the current EDM sound that I don't want to lose the crowd before I can win them over with tight mixing. 2) Do you think there will be a trend towards older house music? I think today's music is too loud and people will slowly get turned off by it and gravitate to older music which has more space to "breathe". Or maybe my ears are getting too old and I can't keep up? I've done a mix here, in case anybody wants to listen

Cool thanks!

Had a quick listen to it, quite liked the track selection. Could you post up a playlist by any chance (particularly the last track - loved that beat). Only question, and pardon me - I'm just trying to learn more about the thought processes behind mixing, was whether you considered reducing the high hats after the main beat kicked at the start (0.27)? It felt like too much energy for a starting track. I was thinking a more bass heavy, trancey beat would get people into the groove for the mix and then progressively increase the energy levels.
